My Sister’s Tortillas

By Silvia Ibarra

When she is a small child, Rosa and her family leave the town of Tarandacuao, located in the middle of Mexico. In the dark of night, they make their exit and travel by wagon through desolate, muddy, and dangerous roads.

California is their destination. There, Rosa and her family hope to find gold and make their fortune. They plan to only be gone for a couple weeks, returning rich, but their short adventure does not go as intended. Unforeseeable events lead them to life in a small oil town in West Texas.

Through their difficulties and daily obstacles, Rosa and her traditional Mexican family learn American culture. They are always reminded of the heritage that binds them together, as love cannot be contained by country borders.
